SACK-HOLDER.

Application filed September 25, 1919.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT LOUIS BEN- rno, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of Bakersfield, in the county of Kern and Stateof California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSack-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in sack holders, and has for its objectto provide a device of the character specified, adapted for use withthreshing and milling machines, for supporting the bag or sack intowhich the grain or flour is discharged, in such manner that the mouth ofthe bag will be held distended to receive the material without spilling,and wherein the bag will filled without the necessity of tamping orshaking, and wherein the bag may be readily attached or detached.

In the drawings Figure l is a front view showing the improved holder inuse,

Fig. 2 is a perspective view attached.

The present embodiment is shown in connection with the discharge spout 1of a threshing or milling machine, and the improved holder comprises asubstantially rectangular frame consisting of side members 2 andconnecting end members 3, the said frame being of metal of suitablecross section, and of strap material arranged with its wide dimensionperpendicular to the plane of the frame. In connection with this frame,there is provided a yoke consisting of a body 4 and arms 5 which areslidably connected with the side members 2 of the frame 2-3. The saidside members have openings of the holder 0 near their ends through whichthe arms are slidable, the said yoke being of rod material.

Serial No. 326,149.

Nuts 6 are threaded onto the ends of the arms, to limit the slidingmovement of the body of the yoke awayfrom the frame, and it will beevident, that by grasping the body of the yoke and moving it toward orfrom the frame, the aggregate distance between the body of the yoke andthe remote side member of the frame may be varied.

Hooks 7 are provided on the body of the yoke near its ends, and otherbooks 8 are provided on that side member of the frame which is remotefrom the body of the yoke, and these hooks 7-8 cooperate to support thebag 9.

The improved holder is supported from the spout 1 of the threshing ormilling frame, the said frame being connected therewith, with the sidemembers 2 on opposite sides of the spout, and in operation, the bag tobe supported is engaged with the hooks 7-8, and the yoke is thenadjusted with respect to the frame to hold the mouth of the bag open.

a I claim 2- A bag holder of the character specified, comprising an opensubstantially rectangular frame adapted to be secured thereto, adischarge spout, a yoke consisting of a body and arms extendinglaterally from the body, the arms being slidably connected with the sidemembers of the frame near the end members thereof, hooks supported bythe body of the yoke and by that side member of the frame remote fromthe said body, and means on the free ends of the yoke arms to limit themovement of the yoke body away from the frame.
